6 HABITS MESSING WITH YOUR HORMONE BALANCE These

6 HABITS MESSING WITH YOUR HORMONE BALANCE

These are some of the habits I see all the time in women struggling with hormone balance. Shifting from these habits to ones that are more supportive of hormone health can make a huge difference.

Here’s what to do instead:

Drink coffee WITH a meal - coffee isn’t a meal. Instead of drinking it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning try pairing it with a balanced meal. This puts less stress on the adrenals and reduce the cortisol spike caffeine can cause.

Have protein with breakfast - protein is satiating and reduces glucose spikes from happening. Remember, blood sugar balance is key for healthy hormones. It’s ideal to have a meal that contains protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbohydrates.

Stop intermittent fasting - this is not supportive of hormone balance for women. A 10-12 hour fast overnight is sufficient. Studies on IF have been done on MEN and they do not have the same hormonal fluctuations as women. For women who are also stressed, this can be very taxing on the adrenals, which is not ideal.

Avoid going low carb - ladies, you need carbohydrates. Going low carb is essentially starving your body of its preferred source of fuel. This can also tax the thyroid and adrenals.

Eat enough calories - THIS IS HUGE. I see it all the time. women’s eating less that 1800 calories or even trying to stick to 1200 calories a day. You’re basically starving yourself, especially of essential nutrients. Your metabolism slows and it shuts down your reproductive system as your body does everything conserve energy.

Switch to non-toxic skincare - endocrine disrupting ingredients are one of the fundamental root causes of hormonal imbalances and you’re using them every single day, even multiple times a day!

What habits are you struggling with? What else would you add to the list? I’m here to help! xx, Jess

ARE YOU EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN? // increasing prote

ARE YOU EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN? // increasing protein (aiming for at least 100 grams per day) and adding in more high-quality animal protein has drastically improved how I feel.

Have you experienced this too??

I typically recommend 0.8-1 gram per lb of ideal body weight. With about 30 grams per meal. You have some wiggle room here but you can play around with the number and see how you feel.

Check in with your energy, satiety levels, cravings, weight and go from there. But chances are you’ll have more energy, think less about food, feel satisfied after eating, and improved mood when eating enough protein.

MEDITERRANEAN SALMON BOWL // bright, crunchy, fres

MEDITERRANEAN SALMON BOWL // bright, crunchy, fresh — truly the is warm weather meal. Tons of fresh crunchy veggies for fiber + minerals and a thick piece of salmon for protein and omega-3s. It’s versatile, blood sugar friendly and supportive of hormone balance. Plus, it’s ready in about 20 minutes.

Serves 2

2, 6 oz salmon filets (skin on)
salt and peppr
avocado oil
parchment paper (ideally non-bleached)
1/2 lemon

3-4 Persian cucumbers, diced
12 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 red onion, sliced thin (soak in water for 10 minutes to remove some of the bite!)
1/2 cup castelvetrano olives, chopped
1/3 cup chopped parsley
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
salt and pepper to taste
sumac
** get creative with it — sometimes I add capers, chickpeas and/or chopped hearts of palm**

Season the fish all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle avocado oil in a stainless steel skillet and set the parchment on top. Flip it over to coat both sides in the oil. Heat over medium heat. Place the fish on top of the parchment. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Flip, then continue to cook until done, abut 5 minutes or until your preferred doneness.

Place all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure to drain the water from the onions if soaking. Season with salt, pepper and sumac to taste.

You guys know I’ve been on a gut healing journey

You guys know I’ve been on a gut healing journey. As I’ve been diving deep into the importance of gut health and specific ingredients for optimal gut health, the more I realized how these exact same things could translate into supporting the gut, skin, and overall health of my pups too.

That’s why when @getjoyfood launched their Gut+ supplement it was a no-brainer for incorporating this into Stella and Alvin’s daily routine. And so far it’s had such a positive impact on their digestion!! I’m hoping after a few more months Stella’s skin issues and hair loss will subside. Fingers crossed!

So now as I’m starting my day with a big glass of lemon water, taking my omega-3 supplements, incorporating things like probiotics and L-glutamine, my pups get the same, but it’s so conveniently packaged all in a tasty chewable.

Get Joy’s Gut+ supplement is such an easy way to support the overall health of your pup including their digestion immune system, defense against seasonal allergies, increased vitality/energy, and even fresher breath.

I can’t wait for you to try these with your pup! As always, use Jessica20 for 20% off your order! #GetJoyPartner

APRIL MOMENTS 📷 this past month has been for se

APRIL MOMENTS 📷 this past month has been for setting boundaries and finding more of a balance with this app. Shifting my focus and consuming less to free up some mental space and take the pressure off. It was a much needed space to breathe for a bit.

April has looked a lot like:
— leaning into “getting ready” with 5 minute makeup routine
— deep diving into all things lymph and supporting detox pathways
— prioritizing cirdanian rhythm + getting outside at sunrise
— watching Henry come into his personality and seeing Henry and Charlie play together 🥹
— focus in on as much color, fiber and nutrients
— gut healing and high quality probiotics and daily prebiotics
— baking and getting Charlie involved — lemon poppy seed muffins were requested
— instead of scrolling, watching The Resident — while I’m still on a screen it’s allowed me not to be in a comparison trap or feel the need to “keep up” with what I see everyone else doing.

May is JAM PACKED and I can’t wait to show up here and in real life in a more balanced way 🤍 #nourishedbynutrition
